In a recent discussion with former Boston Shinkendo students, the topic of Kaiso Obatas legacy and how stupid behavior at the local Boston dojo may or may not have an impact on the ISF and what Obata built.
The view of the former students was this:
"The poor old guy (obata) worked his ass off to build an art, and bring it world wide, and his lazy son is letting it fall apart.
He took no action on the what went down in Boston, and allowed that jerkoff sensei to embarrass the federation and each and every single Shinkendo sensei around the world."
"How do any of those other Senseis not feel embarrassed to be part of the ISF? That poor group in Budapest, or the UK, or Amsterdam, they have to be mortified that the organization looks so stupid.
Let alone that schmuck Lou"
So this is just a small sampling of the view points from these former members that appear to feel that the actions of Boston Shinkendo have only hurt the ISF,
As we all know they are entitled to their opinions, but from what we have seen, it appears to make a lot of sense.
You decide.

How can any Shinkendo practitioner not be embarrassed???
ReplyDeleteI really feel sorry for Old Obata!
ReplyDeleteHis son Yuki is a goofball who's heart really isn't into the art, and he only wants to make money....
They have some of the crappiest sensei's with shit dojos like that little shaffee turd.
Crappy students, fat slobs, ghetto rats, and clouwns.
Im sure Kaiso wanted better for Shinkendo than this lot!
